MONGRELISM 


Away off in the North of China, is Mongrelia, the land of 
the Mongrels. Well would it have been for the world, ifMon- 
grelismhad been confined to this land. 

I mean by Mongrelism, the mixing of the blood of the 
different races of man. For there are, at least, three distinct 
races of men, having different origins ; the red, the white and 
the black. 

The red, white and blue, in national ensigns, are typical 
of this fact ; united, but not mixed. 

These races differ not only in color and general appear¬ 
ance, but in qualities of mind, and natural habits. The charac¬ 
teristics of the races are succintly given in the book of Reve¬ 
lations. 

“And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, 
“and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four 
“ beasts, saying, Come and see. 

“ And I saw, and behold, a white horse : and he that sat 
“ on him had a bow ; and a crown was given unto him : and 
“ he went forth conquering, and to conquer 

“ And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the 
“ second beast say, Come and see. 

“ And there went out another horse that was red : and 
“power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from 
“ the earth, and that they should kill one another : and there 
“was given unto him a great sword. 

“ And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third 
“ beast say, Come and see. 

“ And I beheld, and lo, a black horse : and he that sat 
“ on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a 
“voice in the midst of the four beasts say, “A measure of 
“wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny ; 
and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”

This indicates the result of the peaceful labor of the black 
man. The Mongrel is well described also. 

“ And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the 
“voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 

“ And 1 looked, and behold a pale horse ; and his name 
“ that sat on him was Death , and hell followed with him. 
“ And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the 
“ earth to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, 
“and with the beasts of the earth.” 

The white man is represented as a conquerer, with the 
bow as his symbol. The bow is now in use by all the races, 
but was originated by the white man. It passed into the hands 
of the other races, just as the gun is passing now. 

The white man is a builder, and was so from the first. He 
was so constructed, made, and gifted, by his Creator, that he 
delighted, chiefly, in mechanic art, and especially in build¬ 
ing ; and we find some of his earliest efforts difficult to excel 
now. There has been no change in the physical or mental 
characteristics of this man, for the last four thousand years, 
and in the absence of any proof to the contrary, we may safely 
conclude that no typical change has ever occurred. 

The idea that the white man was originally in an ignorant 
and barbarous condition, is entirely presumptive, all the 
proof being the other way. 

The honey bee is an example in the insect world, of 
natural constructive abilities of such a character, that the first 
swarm produced waxen cells of as perfect a type, as they have 
continued to do since. They made the same^ sweet honey to 
fill those cells, and have continued the same queenly govern¬ 
ment, from that day to this. The hornet, the wasp, the ant, 
and the housefly, are familiar illustrations of the permanency 
of insect types, and of natural gifts or habits. Variation 
there is, but within limits. These limits are well defined. 
No two men are exactlv alike, yet there is no difficulty in 
telling to which of the races any one but the Mongrel belongs. 
Infinite variety, within limits, is the truth. 

Natural selection, on which stress has been laid by some, 
is no argument for variation, but is simply conservative. 


5 


By this process races are kept up to their natural stand¬ 
ard. The permanency of the characteristics of creatures is 
one of the most marked features belonging to them. 

The red man differs from the white man in his tastes 
and inclinations, almost as much as in color. He cares not 
to build either in stone or wood, and prefers the life of a hunter. 
He is the forest man, and no one can equal him in forest lore. 
His senses and intellect are wonderfully acute in these mat¬ 
ters, and he is by no means a degraded or retrograde man. He 
is perfect in his place, and is content in the home for which 
God made him. 

He does not desire your city life, and the efforts to force 
him to adopt the habits of the white man, which are being 
made by well meaning, but not well informed, humanitarians, 
can only be partially successful. There may be some success 
with Mongrel tribes, but not with the pure, red race. 

The black man has, also, well marked peculiarities. He 
does not like to labor, but he has labored long and well, u: der 
the influence of the white man. But when that influence is with¬ 
drawn, he soon ceases to exert himself more than sufficient 
to procure the necessaries of life. He is naturally of a happy 
and contented disposition, whereas the white man is seldom 
either one or the other. Neither is he a degraded man, but 
occupies, in his pure state, the position which God designed he 
should fill. Each of these types of men is perfect in its kind, 
and as long as they remain distinct, the harmony of nature is 
not interfered with. 

But the mingling of the blood of these races, has produced 
a wonderful amount of evil in the world. The Mongrel is a 
destroyer. Behold the continent of Asia, once the home of 
civilization, and learning, and art, and magnificent architect¬ 
ure, now in the possession of the Mongrel races, and now in 
ruins. Her decline has been attributed to the inherent decay 
of nations, and to almost every cause, but the right one. 

Here, in the mountains, north-west of India, dwelt our 
first parents ; here the arts were developed. 

Here, after the deluge, dwelt NOAH and his sons, untilthey 
had become nations. So, while the rest of the world was un¬ 
cultivated, Asia was covered with a high civilization. 


6 


The Chinese are a Mongrel race. You may see them of 
all shades of color, from nearly white, to pure red. I have 
seen the Chinaman and North American Indian stand side by 
side, when no man could tell the difference, except by the 
dress. The Chinese are usually represented as all being alike 
in color and appearance, but this is not so. 

In regard to this matter, I will quote what was said by 
Ledyard, the eminent American traveler, writing from Siberia, 
to President Jefferson, he says : 

“ I shall never be able, without seeing you in person, and 
“ perhaps not then, to inform you how universally and circum¬ 
stantially the Tartars resemble the aborigines of America. 
“ They are the same people, the most ancient and most 
“numerous of any other ; and had they not a small sea to 
“ divide them, they would all still have been known by the 
“ same name. 

“With respect to national or genealogical connection, 
“ which the remarkable affinity of person and manners be¬ 
speaks between the Indians on this and on the American 
“ continent, I declare my opinion to be, without the le^st 
“ scruple, and with the most absolute conviction, that the 
“ Indians on the one and on the other, are the same people.” 

This red race, then, once occupied all Asia as they did 
America, and when the white man was introduced on the 
scene, they became either friends or enemies as the case might 
be. 

The introduction of the white race into America and the 
succeeding consequences, will give a good, general idea of the 
primal history of Asia. The arts and civilization of China 
were originated by the white man, and as he gradually became 
blended with the red, they came to a stand-still or declined. 

This civilization is very old. Many magnificent buildings 
remain to testify what has been. There are many fine bridges, 
canals and other public works. 

These, together with numerous highly cultivated arts, be¬ 
long to the genius of the white man. 

These works were done and these arts developed, while 
yet his blood was pure. But there are no such works accom¬ 
plished now, and, as a rule, no new development of art. 


7 


The admixture of blood has stopped that, but it has not 
gone so far but that great skill in old art remains. These 
people are fossilized, because they have “ corrupted ” the 
blood. 

It is an open question, when this admixture of race began 
in China. I think it was partly antediluvian, and that they are 
largely the descendants of CAIN. The name of the city of 
Canton, may have been derived from him ; and also the title 
of Khan used in Tartary. 

The title and office of the Grand Lama may have come 
from LAMECH. 

There are abundant remains of the old dominant white 
race in India. Mighty have been their works, great their skill 
in building and architecture. 

Their language remains embalmed in voluminous writings. 
But they have become absorbed in the dark races previously 
existing in the land. 

The division of the people into castes, shows the relations 
once existing among them, before the distinguishing marks 
of color and race were destroyed. The language of the old 
white race of India was so similar to our own as to indicate 
a common origin. 

It appears from all the evidence attainable, that the red 
and black races existed on the earth long anterior to the 
white one. I know of no means of determining the duration 
of these races, but the existence of the white man is simply 
historical : his natural endowments, have enabled him to keep 
a record of his race. 

In the sacred writings of the Hebrews or children of He- 
BER, we have a very detailed account of the first men, with 
the order of their descent and even their births, deaths, and 
ages set down in a very methodical wa fy. Their names are 
given and the list is carried down to the time of undisputed 
history. Doubtless, the list has been continued to the present 
day by some families. There are but one hundred and twenty 
men between us of the present day and the first man, Adam. 

Language has been transmitted very accurately through 
that many men ; and it would seem as if traditions might also 


8 


be correctly handed down as far. From this account, many 
important arts were developed by these first men. 

Adam, was an husbandman. 

ABEL, a keeper of sheep. 

Cain, was a tiller of the soil. CAIN, also, built a city. 

According to the Brahmin traditions, this city still exists, 
at Ellora, having been cut out of the solid rock. 

The sons of Cain were great inventors. Tubal Cain was 
a worker in brass and iron. Of course he invented the forge. 

The forge once devised, all that has since followed 
was made possible. 

JUBAL invented the harp and the organ. By the organ 
is meant, reed or wind instruments. 

The word jubilee is probably derived from him ; for words 
sometimes have such origins, as tantalize from TANTALUS. 

JABAL was the contriver of tents, which would seem to 
imply the art of weaving. 

These three devices, the sword, the harp, and the tent,— 
the necessities of the soldier—appear in the earliest records of 
all white races. Now this testimony is not from the sons of 
Cain, but by those who declare that a mark of infamy was 
put upon him. 

Noah was the tenth in descent from Adam, and during 
his long life of five hundred years, he must have been person¬ 
ally acquainted with most of his ancestors, and must have 
been instructed in all the knowledge which they had acquired. 
It was a wonderful ship that he built, of very just proportions, 
and of a size that has not since been equaled. 

The deluge which occurred at this time, destroyed the 
race of man off a large portion of the world, but there are 
good reasons for believing it to have not been universal. 

When the descendants of Noah began to spread over 
the earth, they came in contact with the dark and mongrel 
races that had escaped destruction. 

Deo Naush, in Greek, Dionysius, who is recorded to 
have descended from the Balk mountains with a numerous 
army and conquered Asia, Africa, and Europe, proceeding as 
far as the British or sacred isles,^was, probably, Noah taking 


9 


a survey of his dominions. He is here represented as corn 
quering nations which he found in different parts, and which 
could not have been his descendants. 

The genealogical list of the descendants of Noah is very 
important ; because, if true, traces of the names ought to be 
found in different parts of the world. 

If a man built a city in old times, he gave it his name, 
then, as he does now. If he was the first great ruler of 
a country, that would be called by his name, as Industan 
from INDUR, Assyria from ASUR, Misrasthan from MlSRA ; 
afterward called Guptasthan ; or Egypt from AlGUPTOS son 
of Belus ; or as we say, Columbia from COLUMBUS. Some¬ 
times large rivers or chains of mountains are called from men. 
As Sidon was undoubtedly called from SlDON, the son of 
CAMAAN, Tyre was, likely, from Tiras, son of Japheth, and 
the mountains of Cush from the the son of Ham ; the Java¬ 
nese from jAvan, the Tartars from Tarshish, the Massageta 
from MASH and Gether, the Magyars from Magog, the 
Medes from Madai, Elis from ELISHAH. 

I am satisfied that PHUT was the Bhood of India, the 
Phoot of Thibet, and the Pho of the Chinese ; just as the 
Mexican, who is, like the Chinese, of mixed blood, in endeav¬ 
oring to say Scott, will say Sko. 

This great religious teacher was of the race of Ham, and 
his followers to day are more numerous than any other sect. 
But he was not only a preacher, but a warrior. He was called 
“the “Lion of the race of Sakya ; ” as Christ is called the 
“ Lion of the tribe of Judah.” By some it is thought that there 
was a second teacher of this name, who lived later. 

RAAMAH, the invincible hero, the father of the white 
race of India, “went forth conquering, and to conquer.” His 
exploits are recorded at length in the finest poem in the 
Sanscrit language, the Ramayana. Naphtuhim resembles 
the Roman Neptune. And leaving the old world, let us look 
at what is called the new. “The sons of Yoktan dwelt by 
Cophen, a river of India.” (Josephus). In Yucatan (Yok- 
osthan) are the ruins of Copan, very fine. 

Jokotan is a town near Copan. “And their dwelling 


10 


was from Mesha,” (Genesis,) hence, Meshaco. Calling this 
country Mexico, in the presence of the natives, I have been 
corrected, and they called it Meshaco ; or as some pronounce 
it Mehaco, omitting the 5. It is possible, however, that the 
country was named from MESHECH, Meshechco. 

Quito may have been named from Kitt and Cusco from 
Cush. 

It might be straining the matter to derive Orinoco from 
ORION ( Arjun, Aryun ) ; but most of the names of rivers in 
South America, as the Maranon, the Parana, the Purus, the 
Arauco ; and many of those of North America, as the Gila, 
the Ohio, the Kanawha, the Miami, and Monongahela (from 
the Monongo tree) are derived from the old language of 
India. 

Also most of the provinces ; California, Tamaulipas, 
Coahuila, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, Chili, Aracan, Tenn¬ 
essee and Canada are Sanscrit names. 

The names of many American tribes, correspond with 
those of Asia ; as the Pye-gian, Shawnese, Pawnese, Myam- 
mas, Chianese, Cumanch, Coco, Keensas, Kraw, the Sac and 
the Sew. 

Copan, Mitla, Eturbede, and Silan, are names of old 
towns and districts of India. The names of Eturbede and 
Santana, occur in ancient Sanscrit history, and turn up a- 
gain in the history of Modern Mexico. 

The frequent termination, agua, is Sanscrit, as well as 
Spanish. The names are frequently obscured by the Span¬ 
ish spelling, but are often singularly well preserved. Shasta, 

I suppose, is the Spanish spelling for the Chestee Bute. 

There is a peculiar rythm in these old names that betray 
their parentage. On the American coast we have, 

California, Mazatlan, 

Tamaulipas, Culiacan, 

Palenque, Uxmal, Mayapan, 

Chichen Itza, Popayan, 

Coco, Mocoa, Caguan. 


11 


On the coast of Asia, we have, 

Amerapoora, Aracan, 

Bramaputra, Hindostan, 

Tennasertm, Martaban, 

Sampanmango, Labuan, x 
Mindanao, Palawan. 

It might seem strange that the old Sanscrit names should 
be so well preserved by the red race of America. But the red 
race of Mexico speaks the Spanish language fluently ; but 
even with the change of language, most of the old names of 
provinces have been retained. Something of the same is shown, 
also, on the Atlantic side, though not to the same extent ; as 
the Canaras, the Bahama and Campeche. The Cocas Islands 
are South of Sumatra. Coepang is a town on an Island east 
of Java. 

The American continent was known to the old Hindus, 
and by them it was called Amaragoga. It appears,then,that 
the West coast of America was settled by the white race from 
the east coast of Asia, in the old time, very much as the east 
coast of America has been settled from the west coast of Eu¬ 
rope, in Modern times. The Sacs, and the Sew meet the Sax¬ 
ons and the Swedes, each having traveled half round the 
globe in opposite directions. 

The different sects of India have also a distinguishing 
paint , as have the different tribes of red men in America. The 
followers of Sewa in India make three horizontal white lines 
on the forehead with ashes, and a red circlet with red sanders. 
Whether this resembles the paint of the Sioux tribe I do not 
know. A number of the emblems shown on the ruins in Cen¬ 
tral America are common to Old India and ourselves. One 
of these, the two intersecting, equilateral triangles, the six 
pointed star, is the sign of VlSPINOO and Prithevi, (Adam 
and Eve) and may be seen on modern pottery. 

When the Spaniards first came to Central America, the 
natives possessed a number of historical records in picture¬ 
writing. Among these was one written by a person signing 
himself VOTAN orWOTAN. He stated that he had seen the 
great tower that his Grandfather built ; and that on the occur- 


12 


rence of the confusion of speech, that he was directed, by God, 
to settle in the land of ANAHUAC, and that he had made four 
voyages across the. Atlantic. 

Humboldt and others have commented on this account, 
and noticed the resemblance of the name to that of our great 
Scandinavian ancestor, Odan or WoDAN. Now one of the. 
grandsons of JAPHET was named Dodan or, according to 
some, Rodan. He was the Nephew of MESHECH, from whom 
is MESHECHCO called and the brother of KlTT, from whom I 
derive Quito. He may be the Deryodan of the Sanscrit 
Writers, who was cotemporary with Shem. He may have giv^ 
en the name to the town and celebrated oracle of Dodona. 
ACHILLES thus addresses the God of Peleg and Dodan. 

O thou supreme, high throned all height above, 

O great Pelasgic, Dodonean Jove. 

Sculptured on the ruins of Otulum, is a gigantic figure of 
WOTAN, standing with a foot on either continent, showing 
his knowledge of both. 

A very important matter has to be considered in this con¬ 
nection ; the building of the tower of Babble, (usually spelled 
Babel) and the dispersion of mankind. Babble means con¬ 
fused talking, and the proper sound has been retained in the 
Greek, Babylon ; English, babbling. “ Therefore is the name 
of it called Babel (Babble), because the Lord did then con¬ 
found the language (landguage) of all the Earth, and from 
thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of 
all the Earth.” 

So it need not create surprise to find relics of these early 
men in any part of the world. Men who, like the sons of 
Noah, floated on the great ocean for a whole year, in the 
largest vessel ever constructed by man, would be very apt to 
build other ships. There is abundant evidence that these 
early men roamed the whole earth and soon made themselves 
acquainted with its physical characteristics. They had a 
good knowledge of astronomy, and could, therefore, readily 
navigate the seas. “ The Sibyl (Cybele ?) also makes men¬ 
tion of this Tower and the confusion of the language, when 


13 


she says thus When all men were of one language, some of 
them built an high tower, as if they would thereby ascend up 
to heaven ; but the gods sent storms of wind, and overthrew 
the tower, and gave every one his peculiar language ; and for 
this reason it was that the city was called Babylon.” “ For 
the Hebrews mean by the word Babel, confusion,” (Josephus.) 
But the Hebrews Scriptures are not the only history we have 
of these matters. The Puranas or sacred writings of the Hin¬ 
dus give quite detailed accounts of Adam and Eve and their 
children. Adam is called Adima or SWAYAMBHUVA and 
Eve is called Iva or SATARUPA. The contest between Cain 
or Cardama, and his brother Abel, or DACSHA, is described 
with much minuteness. The place where these events trans¬ 
pired, is located in the Hindoo Cush Mountains. At Ellora 
are many magnificent dwellings cut out of the solid rock. 

The design and sculpture of these are very fine. In them 
is abundance of statuary, said to represent Cain and his im¬ 
mediate descendants. 

One group represents Cain, his wives and attendants 
seated upon an arch of the oldest style. This arch is formed 
by the blocks of stone overlapping until they meet at the top, 
such as are seen in the ruins of Central America. There is 
a peculiar mark on the brow of the statue represented as 
Cain, and also on that of his wife Purwuttee, which is signif¬ 
icant in connection with the statements in the book of Gene¬ 
sis. There is also a mark on the brow of Indranee the wife 
of INDUR. This sculpture appears to excel the best Greek 
art. The inference to be drawn from the whole character 
of these works is, that they were executed by Cain and his 
immediate descendants. 

The impression that CAIN became a vagabond after the 
death of his brother, is not supported by history. On the 
contrary, of the five rulers of the world between Adam and 
NOAH, four were of the progeny of CAIN. His children were 
also the most active in developing the arts. 

These works have been ascribed by some to Eeloo Rajah 
(King Eeloo), but without knowing who he was, or when 
he lived. 


14 


It is possible that they refer to MAHALALEEL (Maha- 
lal-Eel) who was contemporary with CAIN. 

It is conceded by linguists, from the evidence of the old 
Sanscrit writings, that the white race, before its dispersion, or 
separation, spoke a common tongue. But this is not enough. 
They prove more. They show that those old men who lived 
before the flood, for near a thousand years each, besides the 
common arts of life, developed the sciences of arithmetic, ge¬ 
ometry and astronomy to a very high degree. That they de¬ 
vised the art of writing. That the fine arts of music, sculpt¬ 
ure and painting were cultivated by them. That they invent¬ 
ed weights and measures, and most of our common games. 
That NOAH and his sons were accomplished in all these 
things. 

Cain and his wife PURWUTTEE, are often represented,, 
both in writing and sculpture, as playing at chess. 

That afterward there was a declination of science, which 
has been revived in modern times. Our English weights and 
measures are as much derived from those old folks as is our 
language. Our old ancestors of the North commenced the year 
more accurately than we do. 

“ It is related in the Padma-Puran, that Satyavrata, 
“ whose miraculous preservation from a general deluge is told 
“ at length in the Matsya, had three sons, the eldest ofwhom 
“ was named Jyapeti, or Lord of the earth. The others were 
“ CHARMA and Sharma, which last are in the vulgar dialects 
“ usually pronounced Cham and Sham.”— Asiatic researches. 

The Padma-Puran also contains another statement. 

1. “ To SATYAVARMAN, that sovereign of the whole earth, 
“were born three sons ; the eldest, Sherma ; then Charma : 
“ and, thirdly ; Jyapeti byname : 

2 . “ They were all men of good morals, excellent in virtue 
“ and virtuous deeds, skilled in the use of weapons to strike 
“with or be thrown : brave men, eager for victory in battle. 

3. “ But SATYAVARMAN, being continually delighted with 
“ devout meditation, and seeing his sons fit for dominion, laid 
“ upon them the burden of government. 


15 


4- “ Whilst he remained honoring and satisfying the Gods, 
“ and Priests and Kine. 

One day by the act of destiny, the King, having drunk 
mead, 

5 . “ Became senseless, and lay asleep naked : then was he 
“seen by Charma and by him were his two brothers called : 

6 . “ To whom he said what now has befallen ? In what 
“state is this our sire? By those two was he hidden with 
“ clothes, and called to his senses again and again .”—Asiatic 
Researches. 

NOAH appears to have dwelt both before and after the 
deluge, in the true fatherland, in the mountains north of In¬ 
dia. But in his long life of near a thousand years he resided 
at times in other places. In Italy he was known as SATURNUS, 
which name corresponds to the SATYAVARMAN of the Purans. 
His reign in Italy is called the golden, or innocent age. The 
Saturnalia or rejoicing at the time of the new year was a cus¬ 
tom handed down from him. It appears that among his other 
arts that he coined money, for upon the reverse of his ancient 
coins, was represented the stern of a ship as his symbol. Ovid 
ascribes this to the fact, that “ the divine stranger arrived in 
a ship on the Italian coast.” But according to Alexander 
POLYHISTOR, he predicted an extraordinary fall of rain, and 
ordered the construction of a vessel in which it was necessary 
to secure men, beasts, birds and reptiles, from a general inun¬ 
dation.” 

JUPITER the son of Saturn corresponds to JAPETUS father 
of the Greeks, to Jyapeti of the Purans and Japheth of the 
Hebrews. 

JAVAN of the Hebrews, was Janus of the Romans, the 
JON (Jaun) of the Greeks, and Ganes of India. 

It need cause no surprise that these names should be met 
with in different countries, for NOAH considered the whole 
world, as belonging to him. He, accordingly, visited various 
parts of it, and apportioned it among his children. He resided 
chiefly, however, on the head waters of the Oxus, until his 
descendants had became numerous and became divided into 
tribes. Among these were the Sharmicas, (Germans,) de- 


16 


scendants of SHARMA, or SHERMA, or in Hebrew, SHEM. 
Another was the Sacas, or children of King SACA. 

Eighty miles from the mouth of the Indus, was a place 
called Hingliz. At this place are twenty-four deserted tem¬ 
ples to BHAVANI, the Queen of Heaven. The people of this 
part celebrate the festival of BHAVANI, on the first day of 
May, when their custom is to erect a pole in the field and 
adorn it with pendants and garlands. They also celebrate 
anotherfestival on the last day of March, called Huli (Phulee.) 
when they amuse themselves by sending one another on 
foolish errands. All this, has a very Hinglish look, and the 
deserted temples would show that most of the people might 
have moved off in a body, in time long past. This is, proba¬ 
bly, the place where the Hinglish people came from, for though 
the Romans called them Angles, they call themselves English. 

There may, however, have been a tribe of Angles also, as 
there was a department of Anga, and one of Saca, in India. 

Colonel Pearse says : “ If the rites of May day show 

“ any affinity between the religion ol England, in times past, 
“ and that of the Hindus in these times, may not the custom of 
“ making April fools, on the first of that month, indicate some 
“ traces of the Huli ?”—Asiatic Researches . The Huli is called 
Holica, in the Vedas, which is more likely to have been the 
origin of the word Holiday, than is Holy-day. 

Another tribe was the Danes ; from whom named, I do not 
know, unless it was from Dea Anna. This people has played 
a prominent part in both ancient and modern history. A 
^portion of them, under the lead of Belus, the son of Nimrod, 
engaged in building the Padma Mandira, or tower of Babel. 
In this they were assisted by portions of the other tribes. 
After they left off building, some remained in the land and 
were called Chaldeans (Cal Daens.) ? 

Some Danes and Sharmicas went to Egypt. Some of the 
Danes settled in the country afterward called Greece. It 
was chiefly the Danes that besieged and took Troy. Others 
with a portion of the Sacas, the Seevas, the Angas, and the 
Sharmicas, went to the region about the Baltic sea. This 
district became one of the “storehouses of the nations.”

Whether they went by sea or land, I do not know ; but when 
the sons of Noah arrived at the Mediterranean, they took to 
the water as their favorite element. Numerous colonies on 
the shores of the Mediterranean and the West coast of Europe 
were settled from the sea. A portion of these tribes, however, 
remained in their native land, and their descendants were in 
the army of Cyrus. 

There was also a tribe of Romacas, who may have been 
the founders of Rome. Roma, however, may be deduced from 
Raama ; for Bali-Rama, was also called Bali-Roma. Before 
leaving the fatherland, the Sacas, the Romacas, and the 
Javanas, (Greeks,) engaged in a singular war with the children 
of Rama, in regard to the relative importance of Man and 
Woman. The former tribes, with the chivalry of their descend¬ 
ants, took the side of Woman. But though they were victo¬ 
rious, their subsequent emigration was ascribed to this feud. 
I do not know which side the Danes took in this contest. A 
great leader on the Woman’s side, was Deryodan. It may be 
that he was the Odan of the Baltic tribes. 

Italy may have received its name from It or Ita, a pow¬ 
erful King, mentioned in Indian records. On one occasion 
he sailed up the Nile with an army, and gave opportune relief 
to one of the native princes. Mention is also made of a King 
IRSHU, who was driven from his Kingdom in India and took 
refuge in Egypt. It is not improbable that from him has 
come the name of the Irish people ; for many colonies went 
out from Egypt by sea. I mention these to show how un¬ 
changing and permanent are the names of peoples and coun¬ 
tries. 

Scandinavia appears to have been named from Scandia, 
the son of SEEVA ; sometimes called SWAMMY Kartick, the 
Hindu god of War. It was known to the ancients as Scandia— 
dwip, (divide.) 

The region around the Baltic Sea was settled by tribes 
descended from all the sons of NOAI-L I think this movement 
occurred soon after the dispersion from Babel. Here they 
dwelt concealed until they had developed into nations.

Finally, they were brought forward to play their part in the 
later dramas of the World. 

Bamiyan, a city cut out of the solid rock, still exists in the 
mountains of Hindoo Cush. By the Puranas this work is 
attributed to SHEM. 

“ He built a town, which he called Vameyan ; it was 
“Varna, ( beautiful,) hence it was called Vameyan. Wood. 
“ grain, and grass, were in plenty. He placed beautiful flags 
“ on all the gates and posterns. He made, also, beautiful 
“ squares, where grain and wealth were displayed. He called 
“ in the four great tribes : gold and jewelry, abounded in their 
“ houses. In one house were often seen a hundred women. 
“ shining with gold and precious stones ; here the drum beat ; 
“ there they danced ; everybody was pleased. From the 
“ noise in every street, in every house, it seemed as if the 
“whole town spoke. In every house there were constantly 
“feasts and rejoicings : it was like the town of the gods. Shama, 
“ instructed them all in their respectives duties.” 

His character is given thus : 

“ He whose name is Shama is the chief of living beings ; 
“ he was deeply skilled in the Shastra, (inspired writings.) 
“ He is the abode of human and divine knowledge, which he 
“ imparts to all; he gives an increase of pleasure to everybody ; 
“he travels over the whole world, instructing everyone in 
“their respective duties.”—( Asiatic Researches .) 

There is no more crucial test of man’s development, than 
his skill in working stone ; and the proficiency of the ancients 
in this matter demonstrates, conclusively, that there is no 
such thing as progressive development. Progress in science 
and art there has been, and is ; but that is the line in which it 
was intended there should be no end. 

But in the physical attributes of man and his mental en¬ 
dowments there have been no increase. Has any one equaled 
Homer in poetry, or Job in prose ? These two old writers 
seem to have been taught in the same school. In the book 
of Job, it is said, “ Canst thou bind the sweet influence of 


19 


Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion ? ' or Canst thou guide 
ARCTURUS with his sons ? ” 

Homer, in describing the shield of Achilles, a work ot 
art which it would be difficult for any man to equal now,says : 

“The Pleiads, Hyads and the northern Team, 

And great Orion’s more refulgent beam, 

To which around the axle of the sky, 

Arkton, revolving, points his golden eye. 

What does this community of knowledge and names im- 
ply ? 

These men, one a Greek and the other an Arabian, were 
widely separated. Was there a school of astronomy taught 
in those days ? Or did this knowledge come from a common 
ancestry ? Considering the difference of their theologies, it 
proves that the science of Astronomy was highly developed, 
and that the constellations had been named before the disper¬ 
sion of mankind. Every thing on the face of the earth has 
changed ; but those constellations have not changed, and, 
singularly enough, we call them by the same names, as did 
Homer and Job. 

Great was the effect of the confusion of tongues, but the 
confusion was increased when men came to write down their 
vocabularies. In doing this they were guided by the sound. 
The greatest annoyance in this case is the different sound 
which is given to the same letter in different countries. 

Considering these things, it is astonishing how closely 
the spellings of different languages have adhered to the sound. 
The written words of SANSCRIT, of the Greek ot HOMER, and 
the modern English, are sufficiently alike to show them to 
have had a common origin. 

As an example, I will give some words of English, and 
an analogous word in Greek, having the same meaning.

This indicates that these languages are dialects of a com¬ 
mon tongue. These dialects have again many provincial¬ 
isms. But now, though these dialects differ considerably, 
yet is there a method in the difference that evinces design. 
I know that it is objected that sound is, sometimes, decep¬ 
tive. 

But what guide is infallible ? Or what guide is more 
reliable ? Language consists of sounds, and the permanancy 
of language depends upon sound. 

I am also aware that it is not new to seek to trace the 


21 


nations by means of the old genealogical list. Josephus was 
the first to tread this path,and he has had many followers. But 
we are like those who, having traversed extensive plains and 
forests, have ascended a high mountain, and now look back 
and comprehend the situation to much better advantage. 

We have all the knowledge and history of the past, to¬ 
gether with the fruits of modern research. 

I would, also, say to those who object to a thing because 
it is not new, that TRUTH is older still. 

A race of builders once dwelt in America, skilled in the 
cutting of stone. Vast mounds, and ruins of well built stone 
structures, attest their genius, their industry, and their dura¬ 
tion. But not only their buildings, but what usually accom¬ 
panies only the highest development of civilization, their 
roads, for hundreds of miles, have been paved with cut stone. 
Rome alone, in the height of her glory, made such roads. 

But what has become of the children of these builders? 
If they were white men, where are their descendants ? If 
they were red, why have they ceased to build ? Why all this 
ruin, this destruction ? Ah ! The evolutionist finds but little 
comfort here. All this is retrograde. 

This it is that puzzles the ethnologist and the historiogra¬ 
pher. But the riddle is not hard to read. All that is necessary 
is to open your eyes and throw away prejudice. The white 
race mingled its blood with the previously existing red race,and 
have been absorbed by them. Mr. Stephens, in describing the 
ruined cities of Yucatan, could not get rid of the impression 
that the present natives of that country are the descendants of 
the builders. But so much did the red blood predominate at 
the advent of the Spaniards', that they had not only ceased to 
build, but even to occupy these cities. Among these ruins 
are a number of monolithic columns, some of them still stand¬ 
ing on end. Chiseled on these stones are the features of the 
white father,the red mother, and the mongrel children. The 
designer could have taken no better way to record his story. 
The red race seems like the mythological serpent, which was 
said to encircle the Earth, and was always trying to devour 
the mundane egg—(the world.) A representation of this 


22 


performance is actually shown in one of the western mounds, 
as if the builders wished to record their fate. 

It is a rule and law that when the white man mixes his 
blood with the darker races, that the dark races will eventu¬ 
ally gain the ascendency. This generally culminates with 
the massacre of the whites, as was the case in Hayti ; and as 
would have been the case in British India, had the Sepoy 
rebellion succeeded ; and as had once before occurred in the 
history of India more than a thousand years ago. 

The best way to find out what has been, is to look around 
you and see what is going on in the world at the present 
time. We find that this mingling of blood continues, and 
with the same uniform results ; a declination of arts, and es¬ 
pecially of building. The Spanish conquerers of America 
were a mighty race, and for awhile they builded and im¬ 
proved, but when the influence of the mother country was 
thrown off, they mingled with the red race, and since then 
this race has gradually been gaining the ascendency, and un¬ 
less there should be a further infusion of white blood, the 
whole will go back to the condition existing before the arriv¬ 
al of the Spaniard. The process by which this is accom¬ 
plished is far more rapid than is generally supposed, and a few 
centuries more is all that is required to completely merge the 
white in the red. 

The historical writings of the Hindus give account of 
their contests with the dark races, which they found in India 
after the flood. They conquered them ; but then commenced 
that admixture of blood which, though slow at first, increased 
in a more rapid ratio, until the white race was absorbed by 
the more numerous dark race. In such cases, the language 
of the white race, like its arts and its buildings, generally 
falls into disuse, and had not the language of the white race 
of India been written in books, we should hardly have a ves¬ 
tige of it left. Owing’to this admixture, language alone will 
not determine the race of a people. Europe and the United 
States of North America have alone resisted this influence, 
and have thus continued to prosper. Whether the dark races 
of Europe were destroyed by the flood, or were annihilated 


23 


as the red race of North America has been within a recent 
period, I am unable to say. But that they once existed there, 
is abundantly evident from their remains. The same stone 
and flint instruments are found in large quantities, the same 
as were in use by the red race of America on the advent of 
the modern colonists. Be this as it may, the people of the 
United States are in some danger from the large number of 
the black race now existing in their midst. If this race is not 
removed, a gradual admixture must take place, which is sure¬ 
ly injurious to both. 

But there is even a greater danger to be apprehended 
from the immigration of the mongrels from Asia, which, if not 
at once arrested,will inevitably bring disaster to our country. 
China can easily spare enough men without missing them, to 
outnumber us man woman and child ; and under the present 
law of suffrage, in fifty years they might out-vote us. The 
mongrel races already outnumber the pure races of the 
world, and the white race is scarcely one-fourth of the whole. 

Nothing, under Providence, has saved the world from 
mongrelism thus far, except the wonderful Scandinavian race, 
which now rules the world. With hard struggles they have 
beaten back mongrelism from Europe, and from thence ex¬ 
tended to America. On several occasions the issue hung up¬ 
on a single battle. In 451, the Roman general Aetius unit¬ 
ed his forces with his former rivals, the Baltic men, and on the 
field of Chalons sur Marne defeated the mongrel horde under 
Attila the Hun. This is probably the bloodiest battle ever 
fought in Europe, as it is stated that three hundred thousand 
men were left on the field. 

Again, in 732, a mongrel horde of Saracens invaded Eu¬ 
rope. Having overcome by their numbers, the gallant Goths 
of Spain, they invaded France with an army estimated at up¬ 
wards of three hundred thousand men. Again the fate of Eu¬ 
rope and the white race hung upon a single battle. But the 
pure white blood asserted its superiority, and this mighty host 
was totally defeated by CHARLES MARTEL, with forty thous¬ 
and men from the Baltic. I do not mean to say that all of 
those called Huns, nor all the Saracens were mongrels ; but 



24 


the great body of their followers were, and they have left 
their trace in Europe to this day. Europe has been in danger 
since then from the Magyars and from the Turks. 

The descendants of the former remain in Hungary, and 
the Turk still holds his own in the fairest parts of Europe and 
Asia These contests were not simply between different 
countries, nor between different systems of religion ; but 
between mongrelism, and the pure blood of the Baltic. The 
Scandinavian,as a rule,has always refused to mingle his blood 
with the dark races, and in so far, he is a conqueror. Russia, a 
kingdom established by Baltic men, stands as a breaker be¬ 
tween Asiatic mongrels and the rest of Europe. For a long 
time she was nearly submerged by the hordes that poured 
upon her eastern border. At length she has rallied, but now 
when fully able ro return the blows, the foolish jealousy of 
western Europe restrains her arms. They had better thank 
God, that she stands between them and the unnumbered 
hordes of Asia. Of course, Asia could never conquer Europe, 
when not engaged in fratricidal war. But that is the very 
rock on which the white race has split. 

The old fable was, that while the lion and the bear con¬ 
tended for the prey, the fox came in and stole it away. 

So when the white nations have weakened each other 
with war, the mongrel comes with vast numbers and conquers 
both. Such has been history ; shall it be history again ? In¬ 
stead of recognizing this danger and taking any measures to 
guard against it,Germany proposes to build a railroad through 
Tartary to China. To build a road for the mongrels to come 
on ; and they will come. 

There is another way of taking a country than by force 
of arms. The continual, quiet introduction of these races 
may achieve what they could never have accomplished by 
arms alone. It is, probably, in this way that China was first 
overrun by mongrels from the north, but the final Tartar con¬ 
quest is historical. China built a wall to keep them out, 
Europe builds a road to bring them in. 

Europe, in the plenitude of her power, has no fear, and 
were there no intestine broil she need not fear. But I hope 


25 


never to see,again,England and France checking Russia in her 
advance on Turkey, or any other Mongrel people. The worst 
policy of modern times, was forcing China from her preferred 
seclusion. Still worse is it to instruct her people in the manu¬ 
facture and use of modern arms. The time will come when 
this will be sadly regretted. The Chinese in our own country 
are civil and industrious, and I have always found them pleas- 
sant in intercourse. They are very desirable to the rich as fur¬ 
nishing cheap labor ; and a reasonable quantity of them might 
do no great harm. Nor does it follow, from what has been said, 
that all Mongrels are bad people. On the contrary, many of 
them are estimable persons. But the mixing of the blood 
destroys two races, and produces a new one, which cannot 
take the place of either of the others. We must judge the 
future by the past. 

The tendenc)^ of a population is to become homogeneous. 
It is the quality of a population that gives strength and energy. 
The white population of Asia has become absorbed in the 
dark and Mongrel races. That is what ails Africa. This 
continent was formerly powerful with white peoples all along 
its northern and eastern borders, and far into the interior. 
But they first enslaved the black race, then mingled their 
blood, and have, finally, become merged in them, so that the 
greater part of the inhabitants are Mongrel people. In this 
case the arts decline according to the degree of mixture. In 
this way the Mongrels become destroyers, not so much from 
actual destruction of cities and villages, as from want of apti¬ 
tude to preserve and create. A city may be destroyed, and 
again rebuilt, but a people who have become Mongrel, seldom 
recover. Chicago was destroyed by fire, but as the people 
were left uninjured, they soon repaired the damages. There 
are some instances of people, also, recovering, partially, by a 
fresh infusion of white blood, as the Magyars and Turks, in 
Europe. We are very careful of the stock of our cattle and 
horses, and all that has been said on this subject, no one will 
dispute, when applied to them. But the crossing of breed 
with them is not nearly so injurious, as it is in the caste of 
mankind. And statesmen have yet to learn, that it is neces- 
3 


* 


26 


sary to be careful of the stock of people. Mongrelism is the 
dry rot of the nations. None of the nations of antiquity have 
been able to resist its influence, and it remains to be seen 
whether the moderns will succeed any better. It is my candid 
opinion, that they would eventually succumb to the same 
influence, and the whole world would become Mongrel if man 
were left to follow out his own devices. 

It is no matter how highly you develop the arts and 
sciences. It even seems as if this would hasten the result. For 
it seems that the practical application of art, tends more and 
more to facilitate the intercourse and mixture of nations, and 
if the mingling of blood continues, the art developement will 
first be arrested, and then the movement will become retro¬ 
grade ; as has been the case in Asia, and also in pre-historic 
America. 

Is it not time,then, for people to awake and consider the 
matter ? If all this is true, it is highly important, and demands 
immediate consideration , and then action. From the past we 
can only learn lessons ; the present is our own ; but what of the 
future ? I have said that there were, at least, three distinct 
races of mankind ; each perfect in its kind, and who have ful¬ 
filled the destiny for which they were made ; who appear to 
have been placed on the stage in successive epochs, the white 
or Adam’s race, being the last to appear. Will this be all ? 
or will there be another and higher type yet to come. We are 
not left uninformed on this subject. According to the teach¬ 
ing of JESUS Christ, there will be another race of which he is 
the type. This time, however, it is to be made out of old 
material whatever may have been the case before. 

From the race of Adam, Noah was selected to be the 
father of the future race. From the race of NOAH, Abram was 
selected ; from the race of Abram, David was selected ; and 
from David, on the mother’s side, arose CHRIST, part human, 
part divine, to be the head and type of a new race, which is 
now being selected from the earth. 

He came to establish the kingdom of heaven upon earth, 
and this is what he taught ; “Repent, for the kingdom of hea¬ 
ven is at hand.” His disciples expected that it would be set 


27 


up immediately ; but he gave them to understand different¬ 
ly ; promising to return at some future time and establish his 
kingdom. All the prophets are agreed as to this matter. 
There were to be four great kingdoms to arise in succession 
on earth, to be then followed, without change of scene, by a 
fifth and final kingdom. This kingdom is to endure forever. 
It is, moreover, to be established during the existence of the 
previous races. Eventually, however,, there is to be a new 
heaven and a new earth. As every thing on the surface of 
the earth w'as once said to be destroyed by water, so, after a 
time, it is said, the same complete destruction will come by 
fire, leaving nothing alive. Then the souls of the dead will 
be rehabilated with new bodies and live on the improved 
earth forever. All the nations of antiquity believed in the 
immortality of the soul. Homer says :— 

“ ’Tis true, ’tis certain, man though dead, 

Retains part of himself, the immortal mind remains. 

The form subsists without the body’s aid.” 

He even makes the favored hero ODYSSEUS to visit the 
realms of the dead and interview his departed friends. These, 
though dwelling in the Elysian fields, and enjoying much hap¬ 
piness, appear not to be contented with their lot. 

The Roman poet, ViRGILIUS, follows in very much the 
same strain ; making his hero, Eneas to talk with the dead. 
But the reincorporation of the soul in a new and improved 
body is, pre-eminently, the Christian doctrine. This will con¬ 
stitute the kingdom of heaven, with Christ as King. 

The literal fulfillment of the greater part of the prophe¬ 
cies of Scripture, makes us naturally solicitous in regard to 
the complete accomplishment of the remainder. The rise and 
fall of the three great empires mentioned by name, the Baby¬ 
lonian, the Persian, the Grecian, and the fourth so well de¬ 
scribed as evidently to refer to the Roman, have all taken place 
as foretold ; and the time seems approaching for the setting 
up of the fifth and final kingdom. A “great day of preparation” 
for this event is foretold, when “ many shall run to and fro,” 
and “ knowledge shall be increased,” which may well refer to 
our own day. 


28 


“He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face ; 
keep the munition, watch the way.” 

“ The chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of 
his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.— 
{Cannon). 

“The chariots shall rage in the streets. They shall 
seem like torches, they shall run like lightning.”— {Nahum.) 

The rapid development of art and science, within the 
last hundred years, is the most remarkable in the annals of 
the world. “ When shall these things be ?” In the book of 
the prophet Daniel it is said, “Seventy weeks are deter¬ 
mined upon thy people, and upon thy holy city.” Seventy 
weeks of years would be four hundred and ninety years, 
(490), at which time Jerusalem was destroyed by Titus. 
In another vision, though near the same time, he says ;— 
“ How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice 
and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanc¬ 
tuary and the host to be trodden under foot. And he said unto 
me,unto two thousand and three hundred days (2300).” These 
days are usually considered to mean years. Now Jerusalem 
was destroyed in Anno Domini, 70. In order, then, to bring 
the date to the commencement of our era, the seventy years 
must be taken from the four hundred and ninety years, which 
leaves four hundred and twenty years, (420). 

Four hundred and twenty years taken from two thous¬ 
and three hundred years, leave eighteen hundred and eighty 
years (1880) ; which brings us to the year eighteen hundred 
and eighty-one (1881). “ Then shall the sanctuary be cleans¬ 

ed,” whatever that may mean.
